for the 'vibe' and all the ceremony involved with actually listening to a complete vinyl album that makes the experience more involved and more special, no

dunno the study but its been shown in blind abx testing that people unfamiliar with audiophile gear felt a more emotional connection to the music when hearing it played back on vinyl. and this is more than just random, was something like close to 70%
Owen Bennett

Aiden Stewart
hippies collect it which is ironic because its a non biodegradable plastic that kills the earth to make
Isaac Cook

No, since even in 2018, many CD's are still infected with loudness wars bullshit, so Vinyl still has a place, only because Vinyl masters are never compressed to all hell and back to please Rick Rubin.
Vinyl is only 'good' because CDs are mastered badly.

Because CDs are universally fucked by loudness wars bullshit.
